SWTOR: Classes

I have pre-ordered this based on my love of KOTOR but have very little MMO experience (one lonely week on WoW). I was just wondering what classes you guys are thinking of playing. I'm thinking of using a Bounty Hunter as my main just because I'm thinking of doing some soloing.

In the dungeon walkthrough I saw a while back I thought the Jedi Consular looked the most interesting with its mix of melee and ranged and support skills whilst on the other end of the scale the ... class that stood behind cover with a gun all the time ... looked pretty boring. Of course those were just my impressions; I'll try and find the video in question as I think it's a good way of comparing the various playstyles, at least insofar as group play is concerned.

I'm planning on paying the $5 to pre-order this just for the preview weekends - it'll have to be pretty good to get me to shell out the rest of the cash plus a monthly sub. But for those, I'm probably going to be boring and play a Sith Warrior because I have yet to get over my childhood obsession with Darth Vader.

I have to be a light saber wielding Jedi Knight. I just don't have the will power to play anything more interesting at first because I love light saber combat so much. I remember in KOTOR2 teleporting around the map with force jump and +51/+40/+30/+20/+15 attacks each round. All the enemies on the map would just evaporate as the game's camera failed to track my Jedi as he mercilessly murdered his foes.

The thing that puts me off this game is that surely EVERYONE under the age of 18 is gonna be playing one of the jedi classes. I wouldn't be surprised if they take up 75% of the playerbase. The pvp especially could get very boring if everyone is playing the same 4 classes and the other 4 are much rarer.

but if you are able to make a dedicated jedi killer who might suck at everything else besides jedi killing you might be loathed by so many.
